Vultures – Scavengers of Death arrives with a refreshing and highly creative approach to survival horror, delivering a demo that immediately captures attention through its striking retro aesthetic and innovative gameplay concept. From the moment you begin exploring its desolate, PS1-inspired world, the game draws you into a ruined city filled with atmosphere, mystery, and the gritty charm of classic horror. The low-poly visuals, moody lighting, and bleak setting perfectly evoke the spirit of late-’90s survival horror while maintaining a unique identity that sets it apart from anything else in the genre.

What makes the demo especially captivating is its fusion of survival horror tension with tactical, turn-based combat. Instead of relying on frantic action, Vultures invites you to think strategically, making every decision feel meaningful. Each turn matters: movement points and action points become precious tools in your fight for survival, and planning your approach adds a rewarding sense of depth. This thoughtful system encourages players to analyze the battlefield, evaluate threats, and use resources in smart, deliberate ways enhancing the survival horror atmosphere rather than diminishing it.

Exploration is equally engaging. The act of scavenging supplies, maneuvering through abandoned structures, and keeping your eyes open for danger creates constant suspense. Resource management plays a key role, giving weight to every item you collect and every encounter you face. This design mirrors the essence of classic horror games, where every bullet and every healing item feels valuable, yet Vultures delivers it through a familiar structure that magically blends RPG Turn Base Elements with Survival Horror that results in a very fun an entertaining experience. The world feels dangerous and alive, and the demo successfully builds an immersive rhythm that keeps you alert and invested.

Another standout element is the game’s overall creativity. The combination of tactical gameplay and horror is uncommon, Weve seen it in the early days with Parasite eve and Koudelka, but this year We witness what many are calling the revival of the turn based combat system with Expedition 33 but in the We also had House of Necrosis that leaned more into that Mystery Dungeon with a Survival Horror Twist. Vultures executes it with confidence, and with a fresh feeling as well giving players something truly different while still honoring the traditions of the genre. The atmosphere, music, and visual style all work together to build a cohesive experience that respects the roots of survival horror while pushing it into new territory. The demo shows clear passion behind its creation, with thoughtful mechanics and world-building that hint at an even richer experience in the full release.

Overall, the Vultures – Scavengers of Death demo shines as a promising and inventive take on survival horror. Its tactical combat, retro presentation, and immersive scavenging loop create a compelling experience that stands out immediately. Fans of classic horror, strategy games, or unique indie projects will find plenty to enjoy here. If the demo is any indication of what’s to come, Vultures is on track to become a standout title in the modern indie horror scene, offering something both nostalgic and boldly original.
